25
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:38,839
Speaker 1: and this is one way that we can bring people

26
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: into our family and really celebrate with them during the holidays.

27
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 1: If we can get on anything community and inspire the

28
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,880

29
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: And um, I don't know. It just fills me up.

30
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: It gives me joined keeps me going during the week

31
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: there right, Okay, Okay, so I got hit the bottom.

32
00:01:54,520 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: Hit the bottom man bedtime in Los Angeles here with

33
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: the Chargers, they are changing offensive coordinators Kenn wizzen Hunt.

34
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: Is that what's the story here? In that's right. Late

35
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: last night, Ken wizen Hut was officially fired by the

36
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Chargers moving on. And of course this is

37
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: someone who has been with them for three years and

38
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,839
Speaker 1: they're gonna kind of move forward from there. I'm sure

39
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: you guys know by now. Okay, I had to let

40
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: coach wizzens I go and that was not that was

41
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: not an easy decision. And I trust his office and staff.

42
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: I know that it's more work for them. I know

43
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: they're going to step up. Shane's gonna call it plays past,

44
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: gonna do the run game. You know, we're gonna keep

45
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: it rolling. We're gonna keep it rolling. The keys to

46
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: the Chargers offense will be handed to quarterbacks coach Shane Stekin,

47
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: a man already familiar with the nuances of the boats

48
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: off as he's innovative. Here's a lot of jews. I

49
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: think the players are going to respond to Shane. Just

50
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 1: be careful coming in there super fast, you know what

51
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:08,760

Speaker 1: start the Boat's offense after missing four games early in

72
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: the season. The re emergence of tight end Hunter Henry

73
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: figures to loom large in this weekend's game plan. Why

74
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: aren't you doing your little Baywatch run that you always do?

78
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: they communicate, how they work together, it's always been pretty

79
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: special to see. I'm really excited for Shane. You know,

80
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: it's a big opportunity for him and for all of us. Um.

81
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: You know, we have some big games ahead, and you

82
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: know we need to score good a lot of points,

83
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: so you know, we we needed this and I'm excited

84
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: just to go out there and play for him, and

85
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: and you know, I get this offense rolling. I give

86
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: up on throwing. You gotta click it and like to

87
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: keep a flat. It's pretty good. There's nothing I love

88
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: more than watching who I love doing what he loves. Um,

89
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: it's really fulfilling. And I don't think especially this past

90
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: year being married, it's one of the most fulfilling things

91
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: just watching him do what he loves so much. And

92
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: obviously staying healthy that's another big thing. So you know,

93
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: it's just good to be with the guys again. UM,

94
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: just to be rolling and to you know, go out

95
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: every Sunday and you know, help this, help this team,

96
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: you know, try to get wins. UM. You know, sit

97
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: on the sidelines last year was tough. But just to

98
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: be back out there rolling, it's it's Uh, it's been

99
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: really special. And these last couple of weeks have been

100
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: great for me, just getting back in the rhythm and

101
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: going again. Rivers steps up, rolls the middle, forty five

102
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: yard line hunter, Henry the tight end. Rivers steps delivers

103
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: on a floater, Henry extending for the catch and he's

104
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: he's out for it. What a grab by Hunter Henry

105
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: goes out for Hunter Henry caught pass the forty five.

106
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: It is a game of twenty whatever tends on that's

107
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 1: caught for the touchdown, Hunter Henry pulls it in. We've

108
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: been through a lot this year already, injuries, um losses.

109
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: You know, this year didn't go like we were gonna

110
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: It was planned, you know, and we thought it. You know,

111
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: you thought it would go perfect. I thought we would

112
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 1: be undefeated, but we're not. And you know, you just

113
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: have to continue to keep pushing forward. It's kind of

114
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: like a one in no mentality, like every day is

115
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: a new day and you just have to keep pushing

116
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: forward because NFL season is really long. Week after week.

117
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: You have to be at your best. And you know,

118
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: the Packers they obviously if you've had a great start

119
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: to the season, they have a great quarterback, great team.

120
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: You know, why not, uh, you know, beat a great

00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: seven one Packers, and here we go. You're on second

156
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: and eight, brushing four ver slice to the right flags

157
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 1: to were big pass absolutely right on the spot to

158
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: his tight end Hunter Henry for a gade of nineteen

159
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: and Shane Stunkin's play calling debut. The Chargers opened up

160
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,719
Speaker 1: the gate with a team play scoring drug. Now. The

161
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: first down has a catch at the thirty five by

162
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: Canan Allen Boy. How about this for a start, though

163
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: for a Charger team, how about keeping the football tony

164
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: for over eight minutes to start the game? Fifteen plays

165
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: they go eighty four yards for the field goal. First

166
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: quarter dominance was not just reserved for the offense against

167
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 1: a future Hall of Fame signal color. The boats put

168
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: on a pass rushing clinic thirt and ten and Rogers

169
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: here comes. Ingram has up, drops up Melvin Ingram with

170
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 1: a sack Ingram Bosa same side again, Jim, if you're

171
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: not gonna go help that side, these two are gonna

172
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: wreck the game. On the hash left side is Graham

173
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 1: low snap. Rogers digs it out, turning eight. That's a

174
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: sack butt up by the Churcher's Joey Botsa. Joey Bosa

175
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: does it again, Come baby, Joey, Let's go, Come go please.

176
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: The defense came to play in the first half, as

177
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 1: did Hunter. Henry takes the handoff Rivers again Biddle of

178
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 1: the peel as Hunter Henry into Packer territory down the middle.

179
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: To Henry, this tyn in as quite a weapon, and

180
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: Rivers under pressure quick gets to Hunter Henry just shy

181
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: of the thirty of the twenty nine. For a game

182
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: of six rivers climbs, the pocket goes to the left

183
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: sideline Hunter Henry and he gets out of bounds. After

184
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: twelve is down to a pound to five with Hunter Henry,

185
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: and he sees Hurst down and Hurst and goal snap

186
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 1: kick and that is good Badgeley three field goals in

187
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 1: the first half. As the Chargers have a nine zero

188
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 1: lead going into the break over the Packers. We're just

189
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: steps off the field. The Packers will be receiving the

190
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: third quarter kick down nine nothing. What are you looking

00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: started start that in the first quarter all the way

253
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,000

00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: rivalries between the Raiders and Chiefs will be renewed. First up,

275
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: our trip behind enemy lines to the black Hole on

276
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: a short week. Good evening, man, we'll put the Packers

277
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: behind us. Okay, you didn't. You did a hell of

278
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: a job yesterday in that game. We've already talked about

279
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: that in the locker room. Let's go to okal all right,

280
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders. This team is very, very familiar with this

281
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 1: team because the personnel hadn't changed a whole lot. When

282
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: you look at this defensive from right here, this is

283
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: a strength of the football team. This defensive from dog big,

284
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: they're powerful, the run stoppers, the linebackers are downhill, they're

285
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: top five against the run. That's every single. You have

286
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 1: this group, but we're always find a way to run

287
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: the football on them. Don't or the Banks a tack on,

288
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: You'll have a much down. Our research and Chargers ground

289
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: attack will be tested against one of the league's stingiest

290
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: run defenses. Coming off a two touchdown performance, provol running

291
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 1: back Melvin Gordon will look to silence a hostile crowd

292
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: with a repeat performance. Let's keep love you, sir. I

293

298
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 1: run for yourself and run for the team. Bro. I'm

00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,560

300
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: go get it. Ain't no time to waste. While a

301
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: pair of first quarter turnovers led to an early deficit

302
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: in the black Hole, the Boats battled back behind the

303
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: steady dose of Melvin Gordon. Another tempo run hand off

304
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: to Gordon again and again. He's a nice jump butt

305
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: to the left either carried for Gordon making his way

306
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: to the right side hand off, goes to Gordon again.

307
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 1: He's got a lane and off his to Gordon blocking.

Speaker 1: He's right and rubbing water, burned out a gold be

309
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: another pass. Rivers stands tall back in the ends, a

310
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 1: wide open cut touchstop Chargers, it's the big tight end hump,

311
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: turning handworkhood. That's how you do it. Let's go get

312
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:54,040

314
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: Rivers looking for Alan standing tall instead gets Melvin Gordon

315
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: on the cross or left sideline. I still want to

316
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: speak thirty turtles a defender. This is a run or

317
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: hit at the line of scrimmage, pushing the pile and

318
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: waiting for a signal. Touchdown Chargers. Melvin Gordon three yard

319
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:34,360
Speaker 1: run and the Chargers have the lead. Yeah, baby, I'm

320
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: in a heated divisional clash that would see multiple lead changes.

321
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: The Chargers and Raiders exchange blows all night in a

322
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 1: game destined to be decided in the final minutes. Down

323
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: the metal pack saying cards by Mike Williams. Try to

324
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 1: cut this lead in half and we're going to knock

325
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: it through. And this is a three point come on,

326
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: come on here, cars crockt by ingrown and the Charger

327
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: defense steps up and makes a play when it has

328
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: two at a loss of five. That guy's gonna d

329
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 1: Here's cars gonna be broad Town with a sack down three.

330
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: In the early stages of the fourth quarter, Philip Rivers

331
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: and the Boat's offense took the field with eighty yards

332
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 1: standing between them and the league second and fifteen, Rivers

333
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: throws passed card Ket and Allen bus outside the numbers forty,

334
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: a huge twenty six yard connection between Rivers and Keenan

335
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 1: Allen in the radar Territoriers looking left now back in

336
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 1: the end zone has Austin Eckler in the end zone.

337
00:21:44,320 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: Touch shockers Austin Eckler. That's man to drive. Eckler's touchdown

338
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: capped at twelve play, eight minute drive to put the

339
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: Boats back up late, but the Raiders would have one

340
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 1: last opportunity to answer, come the game the touchdown that

341
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 1: is gonna do it twenty six, twenty four. They made

342
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: the plays they need to make him and we did

343
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: not stop them, and then we needed to stop We

344
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: didn't get it. And saying that we put ourselves in

345
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,479
Speaker 1: position to still win the game and at the end

346
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 1: we didn't make it play on either side of the

347
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: ball to get it done. And that's disappointing because the

348
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: guys worked the tail off, you know. I thought they

349
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: played hard, thought the energy was good, they were prepared,

350
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: but we didn't finish the job. You've been listening to
